Buzzing discussions sounded in the classroom, and Daisy whispered: "Professor McCarthy has had four or five years and no one has been able to get an A+. Foster + Associates is leaving!"
British Foster & Associates is definitely considered a world-class architect firm. Some people even think that a series of moves by Foster & Associates since the 1970s are changing the direction of today's architectural design and construction.
Xia Xiaolan also thumped, the cowhide was accidentally blown a little too big.
But what she said was like splashing water, and Xia Xiaolan didn't regret it. Any academic competition is benign, it can motivate people to move forward, and it can make people excited If Professor McCarthy has never given an A+ grade, it's fine, since he has given it to others, why can't he give it to her?
"Daisy, if we can't even think about a+, then we really only deserve to get a b."
Xia Xiaolan's words made the discussion in the classroom louder.
She is not as humble as other Chinese international students at all!
People in Huaguo are always very humble. If they can do something clearly, they must say no, and always leave some room for it. Until the last moment, they will never know how strong they are.
Xia Xiaolan's self-confidence is now very similar to that of Americans.
"You don't need to get an A+, as long as your group can get an A at the end of the term, I will ask Heidi to apologize publicly. If you can get an A+, I will admire your talent, and I will also respect Hua- who laid a professional foundation for you Tsing University!"
Jonathan is a proud man, but also a cheerful man.
The minds of this kind of professional strongman are not that complicated. If Xia Xiaolan really led Richard's team to counterattack, he would recognize the excellence of these people!
Seeing him being so forthright, Xia Xiaolan felt very comfortable - the school is really different from the society. In a top university like Cornell, the outstanding ones have their own pride. Xia Xiaolan likes this kind of straightforwardness and simplicity.
Although she has only been in Cornell for a month, she really likes the overall atmosphere of Cornell.
Xia Xiaolan couldn't help laughing, this time it wasn't a sneer, but relaxed and happy:
"Jonathan, just for what you said just now, you are also an admirable opponent I mean academic competition, there is only one crown of kings, I am looking forward to having an opponent like you!"
Jonathan waved his hand, and Heidi quickly chased after him.
Ning Xue remained silent on the spot. She originally wanted to invite Xia Xiaolan to join the group, but Xia Xiaolan couldn't leave Richard and the three of them.
Ning Xue remembered her grandfather Ning Yanfan's evaluation of Xia Xiaolan: She is a person who knows what she wants.
Ning Xue walked out of the classroom slowly, "Why am I not surprised at all? Where there is Xia Xiaolan, there will always be disputes."
Is Xia Xiaolan causing trouble?
no.
It is that some people suffer from unfair treatment, swallow silently, and choose to swallow their anger.
Xia Xiaolan will always stand up and resist. From the beginning to the end, she is pursuing a kind of equality and respect. Little people's cries may not be noticed by many people at first, but as she becomes more and more powerful, what she said will definitely be taken seriously by more people.
"It's still nostalgic."
Nostalgia is sometimes silly.
?Water flows to low places, and people go to high places. After getting stronger and stronger, shouldn't we leave behind those friends who can't keep up?
friend?
Ning Xue muttered to herself, "I've only known Richard, Daisy and others for a month, and I already regard them as friends and partners."
Becoming friends with Xia Xiaolan doesn't seem to need to be complicated.
So how did she screw it up?
Ning Xue herself couldn't figure it out.
Forget it, the past is irreversible, she and Xia Xiaolan are still suitable to be competitors.
Xia Xiaolan and Richard are in a threesome, and she is in a team with Jonathan and Heidi. When they arrived at Cornell University, she and Xia Xiaolan became rivals again. This may be her and Xia Xiaolan's fate!
The people in the classroom slowly disappeared.
Only Xia Xiaolan was left.
Daisy didn't know what to say, Xia Xiaolan clapped her hands: "Guys, can you stop being so unconfident, you don't want to see me lose face in front of Heidi and Jonathan, do you?"
The hot blood just now slowly calmed down, and the red-haired Richard tried to regain his sanity:
"Xia, we are all touched! You could have joined Jonathan's study group, and teamed up with Jonathan, you will become stronger. It is easy to get an A at the end of the semester, and there is hope for an A+. It is for us that you bet with Jonathan !but¡¡"
Xia Xiaolan sat on the chair and drew a big circle on the white paper:
"Richard, this is your elementary school classmate."
She drew three circles in one go in the big circle, one smaller than the other.
"From elementary school to middle school, to high school, to applying to Cornell University, you can see that the circle is getting smaller and smaller. How many of your classmates in the first grade can be like you?"
Lyle and Daisy couldn't help leaning over. They vaguely guessed what Xia Xiaolan was going to say, but what she said was novel and interesting, and they all wanted to listen to it.
Richard was naturally the closest, and couldn't help but follow Xia Xiaolan's train of thought:
"Students from elementary school? Some of them have become drug dealers on the street, and some have become truck drivers"
Richard is obviously stuck with bad memories.
It was hard for him to break through the siege and apply to Cornell University.
Xia Xiaolan pointed to the fourth circle and said: "This is Cornell University. The day you entered, you surpassed your former classmates. You entered this circle and excluded other people who could not go to college. Do you think Are you not strong enough?"
Xia Xiaolan drew a fifth and smaller circle, "This is Jonathan's circle. In the eyes of Professor McCarthy, excellent students, I think Professor McCarthy can recognize that Jonathan is not only good in one class, right? Richard, have you ever been a good student?" Counting from the first day of entering the school, how many people have been squeezed out all the way to apply to Cornell University, now, you only need to squeeze into a smaller circle like before, and that is Jonathan's circle!"
Jonathan's circle is not the end.
Outstanding graduates will compete with other outstanding graduates in their careers.
But he can't be an excellent student. After graduation, Jonathan can go to Yingfortes, choose American p&w, and go to German gmp!
Not as good as Jonathan?
?Being left behind in school, and having a different starting point in their careers, the gap in life will naturally widen in the future!
Richard broke out in a cold sweat from what Xia Xiaolan said.
Following Xia Xiaolan's train of thought, the more she thinks about it, the more frightening she becomes. Now that she is called a loser for not resisting, do you have to wait 10 or 20 years before resisting? No, according to Xia Xiaolan, the difference between them and Jonathan is the fourth and fifth circles. If they don't catch up, let Jonathan widen the gap, and wait for others to jump to seventh, eighthor even tenth. Circle, how can they chase after him?
"Xia, what do you say, I will listen to you!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
